The Most Breathtaking Beauty Looks at the 2026 Actor Awards Leave a comment

We need not remind you that award season is in full swing, with the last few weekends playing host to a smattering of glitzy red carpets (hey, Golden Globes and Grammys), bespoke designer gowns, and cutting-edge tuxedos (we won’t soon forget Bad Bunny’s Grammy-sweeping Schiaparelli ‘fit). However, we may need to remind you that you do, in fact, know what tonight’s award show is—it’s just henceforth going by a different name. The Actor Awards have been renamed after 32 years of being known as the SAG Awards, a decision reached by the SAG-AFTRA Awards Committee and main showrunner to make things more obvious—and though the title has undergone a rebrand, the on-stage glamour remains.

The Actor Awards are the final key benchmark before the Oscars on March 15, meaning that tonight will set the scene for what kinds of results we’ll expect on Hollywood’s most prestigious stage come mid-month. While we can’t wait to learn the fate of each nominee tonight, we beauty editors are eagle-eyed on the small details that bring their couture ensembles to life. The romantic tendrils, painted lips, and silky nail polishes we see on these carpets exude the kind of Hollywood glamour that inspired us into these careers, and we’re already swooning over the looks floating down the red carpet. Keep scrolling for the ones that are bookmarked in our brains.

Dove Cameron has bewitched us body and soul with this delicately vampy look. Her mocha Hollywood waves perfectly complement her deep ruby lip—beautifully contrasting her eyes, which have been kept minimal with a wash of bronzy shadow and lush lashes.

Sheryl Lee Ralph is every bit the “dreamgirl” on tonight’s red carpet. Her look, complete with a glamorous smoky eye and warm-toned lip, is marked by the glossy vintage kiss curl trend that dominated the 2025 Met Gala.

Host of the Actor Awards red carpet is Paige DeSorbo, whose romantically loose hairstyle feels oh so very reminiscent of the undone updos we’ve seen Margot Robbie rock during the Wuthering Heights press tour.
